Westminster, CO Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Attorneys

A Chapter 7 bankruptcy is specifically designed to assist people who are struggling or who are unable to pay their existing debts. Chapter 7 bankruptcy is sometimes referred to as a “liquidation” or a “straight money” bankruptcy because trustee can seize your assets to pay your debts.

For most of our Westminster, CO Chapter 7 bankruptcy clients, however, the trustee does not seize any of their property because we are able to legally exempt it from being sold. As a result, our clients are able to have 100% of their qualifying debts discharged while keeping 100% of their personal property.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is also the most common form of bankruptcy filing. Its primary benefit is that it allows you to “discharge” or eliminate many of your existing consumer debts.

If you are currently suffering from bills that include credit cards, car loans, Payday loans, personal loans, checking account overdrafts, medical bills, or utility bills, filing for Chapter 7 is designed to assist you in wiping out 100% of these debts.

If You are Currently Overwhelmed by Debt, Relief is Available

For many of our Adams County and Westminster, CO bankruptcy clients, their debts have simply overwhelmed them. In today’s economy, it can and often does happen very quickly.

If a family loses a significant source of their income, it’s often impossible to quickly replace it. And, for many of our clients, it’s simply impossible to replace this income at all. The result is that our clients quickly find themselves being financially drowned by forces that are largely out their control.

In today’s crazy economy, most of our clients simply lack the ability to pay all of their current obligations, and they have no realistic hope of being able to do so any time soon. Divorce and unexpected medical bills can also be a major driving force.

The bottom line is that you’re not alone.

Especially in Times Like These, the Bankruptcy Code is Here for Your Protection

Given these turbulent economic times, things are tough out there. For many of our clients, there is simply no realistic hope that things are going to turn around for them any time soon. This is one of the primary reasons that the bankruptcy code is here.

It’s here to assist those suffering during these difficult and unpredictable economic times. For many of our clients, their current financial predicament is not their fault. Things have just spun out of control on them.

Many of our clients are good people who paid their bills on time for a number of years. And, they often try their best to make the minimum payments due only to have the credit card companies and other debt collectors try to jam outrageous penalties, interest rates, and fees down their throats. It becomes a vicious and never-ending cycle.

Eventually, it becomes completely paralyzing. Even for those clients who struggle and sacrifice to make the payments they can, they often turn around six months or even years down the road and realize that they are no better off than when they started trying to “work with” their creditors.

This is where a Chapter 7 bankruptcy can help. No matter what you may have heard or what the debt collectors have tried to tell you, it is a perfectly legitimate way to reorganize your finances by discharging and wiping out your debts while retaining most, if not all, of your property.

Who is Eligible to File a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?

In order for our Westminster, CO bankruptcy clients to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, they must complete credit counseling, and they must also pass the Colorado State means test, which is partially determined by the number of people in their household.

If a potential bankruptcy client from Westminster, CO calls our offices and we determine that their current monthly income is less than the Colorado state median for a household of their size, then that person will most likely be able to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

If, however, the individual’s current monthly income is greater than the Colorado state median income, then we will need to undertake additional analysis using the means test, which is what the bankruptcy court will apply.

The means test is designed to determine if the filing of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition is “presumptively abusive”. The application of the means test, however, can be complicated. As a result, a proper means test can only be applied after a thorough review of a client’s income and debts.

Our Westminster, CO bankruptcy attorneys will assist you in determining whether or not filing a Chapter 7 is a viable option. Even with the new changes to the bankruptcy laws, the majority of Westminster, CO bankruptcy clients that we are meeting with right now are still able to qualify for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
